Julia Burbach delivers a potent Elixir in Prague
Donizetti's frothy romantic comedy takes on fresh appeal in this faithful rendering at the State Opera.
Beauty and the beast: Sciarrino's Venere e Adone premieres in Hamburg
What does opera in the 21st century look and sound like? Streets removed from anything Mozart, Verdi or Wagner would have recognised. But Salvatore Sciarrino is his own man.
A raucous Rosenkavalier from Prague State Opera
A strong international cast and fine musicianship from the orchestra carries on Strauss's legacy with a smart, antic romp.
A man’s world: Bieito’s Carmen revived in Oslo
The revival of Calixto Bieito's Carmen in Oslo proves a bumpy ride, with uneven singing and orchestral playing, saved by Katarina Bradić's captivating portrayal of the title heroine.
A Christmas Cav & Pag in Oslo
Despite occasionally brilliant singing, the Norwegian National Opera fails to raise seasonal spirits with a dramatically inert Cavalleria rusticana and a shaky Pagliacci.
Waiting room blues: Orfeo ed Euridice in Oslo
